i know advertised anything isnt something to be believed but when it comes to ssds, my friends ssd (samsung 830, 256gb) drive regularly maxes at pretty much its advertised read (520) and write (360) speeds whereas my kingson hyperx 3k 120gb just basically edges out a little over sataII numbers (369mb/sec max, 166mb/sec min).
what could be happening here? both benched with hdtune. both with a fresh install of windows. I even just reinstalled windows as i thought it may have still been thinking that it was still hooked up to my old sataII mobo.
my ahci is enabled in the mobo bios. all updated chipset/sata drivers and mobo bios version, went through ssd optimization articles such as the one found here on TH...
